A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine<\/em> reveals that engaging in just 75 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week about 11 minutes daily can significantly reduce health risks. Activities like brisk walking, gardening, or yoga were associated with a 17% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk, a 7% decrease in cancer risk, and a 23% lower risk of early death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. What does “study cohort”<\/strong> mean? “In total, they looked at results reported in 196 peer-reviewed articles, covering more than 30 million participants from 94 large study cohorts<\/strong>, to produce the largest analysis to date of the association between physical activity levels and risk of heart disease, cancer, and early death.

  2. What does “brisk walk”<\/strong> mean? \u201cIn a study published today in the\u00a0British Journal of Sports Medicine<\/em>, the researchers say that 11 minutes a day (75 minutes a week) of moderate-intensity physical activity \u2013 such as a brisk walk<\/strong> \u2013 would be sufficient to lower the risk of diseases such as heart disease, stroke and a number of cancers.
